Feverdream
The 2026/27 season closes with Sibelius's Piano Quintet in G minor, written in Berlin in the spring of 1890, when he was twenty-four. Two of its movements were tried out in Helsinki that May with Busoni at the piano; Sibelius shelved it afterwards, and the complete quintet was not performed until 1965, eight years after his death. It stayed unpublished in his lifetime. Before it, two short works about altered states: Zygmund de Somogyi's spoken-word piano trio A Lighthouse Feverdream and Eli Tausen á Lava's múrurin.
